...I had the rear end of my V8 car finished! Along comes this:

Looks slick! How much additional weight will that be Tony?

David...that's what I thought...gotta be heavier than what I have under there right now...but, still awfully trick!

It might be heavier, but it is sure slick!! In fact, it would balance things up again with a conventional V8!!

What year & model of Jag? What would it do to your panhard rod setup?

Oh, I'm not really gonna change because everything I've done would have to be eliminated....however, if somebody offered me $1500 for my complete rearend setup, I might swap!

You need that set-up Tony. No worries about ring gear teeth popping off and those brakes...

I don't think so. There would gave to be some major fabrication to bolt that puppy in. For one thing MG don't have traling arms. And what about the brakes. I don't think the master cyl will handel the rear calipers. Jags have to master cyl. one with a servo and the other is a slave. Then there's the 4 rubber mounts. One other thing the wheel have 5 lugs. I have heard of this being done, but I can assure you it's not a bolt on job.
